Tremendous disappointment, abandoned when it dawned on me that I was only slogging through it because I felt a twisted sense of obligation to all the "hidden gem" and "cult classic" reviews I have seen.
Scanning other one-star reviews, most of them ticky my boxes: flat writing, that relies too much on "tell don't show," and amazing clunky exposition; waste of the potentially intriguing "world" of Effinger's future, in which everyone is Muslim, but no one really pays much attention what it means to be Muslim; ridiculous, over the top kinky for the sake of being kinky.
